I offer "Work That Reconnects" workshops for different group settings for weekends and retreats and one day workshops, as well as shorter introductions to WTR. Preferably in a nature setting in the Norwegian forest.
I mostly work with activists and communities (and Organisations) supporting their work in developing a regenerative culture.
WTR work and studies has been a large help sustaining my role as an environmental activist after years on the frontlines.. Having also worked in business administration for a decade, building teams and workplace environments I bring the WTR practises into everyday workspaces and into communities adapting within the framework of society.
Connecting us more to the earth, and holding the world in our hearts. Diving into the more-than human world. Stepping out of and into the feeling of connectivity with all things Is crucial in bringing forth a life sustaining society, healthier relationships, and personal enlivenment.
I work mostly in the Nordic living on the edge of Oslo, Norway.
Can be contacted for co-facilitation, workshops, practices, and intros.
Why I am called to facilitate the Work
The WTR has guided me to new ways of experiencing nature and brought forth new and unseen paths and support from new friends and allies in the environmental movement in Norway as well as the "more than human world". Coming from a decade of environmental activism and organisational leadership empowering activists and employees, working with the WTR felt natural fromthe start. I was introduced to the work through a conflict resolution process in an activist group where elements of WTR were used a introduction to the process by facilitator Kathrine Burke and how magically and well it all played out with all the participants. I was intrigued. Studying Active Hope and Coming back to life continuously over and over again, using elements in study groups, networks, organisations and at home with my partner has changed me and helped me gain confidence in the way that we can create a life sustaining society for the future. I work with developing the WTR network throughout the Nordic and bringing the work into organisations like Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion and other groups and NGO’s. I study and work with broadening and teaching Complex Adaptive Systems understanding on a regular basis. As well as offering guidance within the environmental movement.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
The work has taken me from almost getting lost in the mess we're in to being present and dedicated in my work again, in the coming month and years, big movements are going to grow bigger as more and more new and ordinary people become activists to stop the destruction of our home, to create a ladder across the wall of defeat will be a necessity for not losing momentum and grounding. It surprises me how little poetic and philosophical elements are left in some branches of the battered movement. And the reemergence of a strong narrative and powerful stories is necessary to continue building community and organisation. I wish to support this so that we all can step into the future, and leave behind the structures of oppression. To take action for the future requires us to not tackle the problems with the same thinking that brought the problems.
Audiences I work with
Supporting activists is my main focus with WTR, I have experienced the challenges of prolonged activism first hand with no support structure, over a ten year period and try to offer support to activists and others living with Climate Grief in different circumstances.
